This invention comprises various other dehook projecting ,fromthe standtails of construction and combinations and I arrangements of parts, which Will be hereinafter fully descr bed andthen specifically claims.v I? illustrate my invention in the panying drawings, in which F1gure 1 is 'a vice to which a can is applied; and Fig. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of. the device, showing in full lines the encircling bail held in an'upright position and in dotted lines at its lowest can-engaging. 'o'sition.

accomthe drawings by letter, A designatesa disk forming the base of 'my can-supportingdevice, and rising from said base 1s a standard made, preferably, of a wire, the ends of which are fastened to the base, and each leg of said wire is bent to form an eye 0, and the middle portion of said wireforming said standard perspective view-of deis turned into an eyeD, forming a handle, whereby. the device may be convenientlycarried. v

E designates a' bail made of wire bent'in circular outline, with bent 1n a inement with each other and hav ing bearings in said eyes 0. One end F of. sand wire forming the bail is bent at an angle and is adapted to hold. the wire in the adjacent eye, and the opposite endof the wire forming the bail is bent at an angle to the 'plane in which the bail, is disposed and has an eye K formed at its extreme end, designed to engage from the standard It will'beunderstood that the arm of the bail which has said eye K is preferably resilient. and adapted tospring over and engage'said hook as the bail 1s raised to its hest position, thus insuring meansfor hofding the bail suspended. In use the operator pushes the disk or base underneath a jar'or can, and releasing theeye K from said hook said :bail may fall by gravity over the can or maybe-turned down. y utilizing the arm of the bail having said eye K as a handle.
